This riddle MUST be done in your head and NOT using pen and paper. Try
it, it's ... weird.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it.

Now add another 1000.

Now add another 30. Another 1000.

Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?

Scroll down...






























Did you get 5000?

Scroll down...





















Seems most people do. The answer actually is 4100.

Don't believe it?? Try it with your calculator. Thought you were smart, huh?
